Paola is an investor, corporate advisor and director. She co-founded Synergy Resource Capital in 2014, a boutique investment and corporate advisory firm based in Sydney. The company specialises in emerging startups and small caps in natural resources and technology with a particular focus on metals and minerals fueling the energy transition.
She did a summer internship at BHP where she says ‘my fate was sealed, the best three months of my college years’. She finished her Architecture degree in Tucuman, and then practised for a short period of time, until she discovered the field of marketing. That led to joining her family’s consulting practice, in business development. Her first major assignment was coordinating the Argentina Mining Convention, which they organised in partnership with a Chilean publishing house (until they acquired full equity ownership, her first deal!). The most rewarding experience from this period was managing exploration juniors in their local efforts, from exploration to public relations and more, with the team. But she wanted more, and after some soul-searching, she decided to embark on another journey.
She moved to Sydney in 2012. She earned a MComm in Finance at UNSW, and shortly after became an Associate of AusIMM. In addition to her work at Synergy with both TSX, ASX and LSE listed explorers, she has been mentoring startup founders at Blackbird Ventures’ Giants program since 2021 and supporting early-stage tech startups.

She is very active on social media, and is often consulted by sector media and participates in expert panels such as Mines & Money and IMARC.
